i have not heard from harry reid's office. i guess we should, right, to say it's either true or not true. >> yeah i would expect harry reid's office to have to come out at some point and issue some kind of a denial or at least try to put this in context. what i've heard from the republican side is in effect, democrat staff approached our staff, leadership staff on the republican side and said, hey, we need to figure out a way to exempt congress because if we don't exempt congress you'll have a lot of low paid staffers who are not able to afford the $7,000 in premiums that they would have to pay and that would be bad. i think the dig -- bill: sorry the reason why that's that is important, steve is they believe their staffers wouldn't want to work there because they could not afford it right. it was a talent drain or a brain drain, continue. >> exactly. which would in effect mirror the complaints we're hearing from so many businesses around the country. congress wants to exempt itself or some in congress want to exempt itself so

here is senate majority leader harry reid on the floor on that topic. >> we've seen the dire effect of these arbitrary budget cuts and we have an obligation to stop them. i will soon ask unanimous consent to take up and pass legislation that would block sequestration until the end of this fiscal year, until the first day of october. bill: republicans call this pure politics saying the faa could easily reshuffle fund needed to keep air traffic controllers on the job. what does tucker carlson editor of the daily caller, co-host of "fox and friends" weekend think about that? and what does alan colmes, host of the "alan colmes radio show" and fox news contributor think as well? welcome to you and nice to see you both. susan collins republican out of state of maine calls this a manufactured crisis. is it? >> of course it is. this is a political ploy by administration to punish the public until republicans agree to raise taxes once again on the top 1%. i actually think this is too far. at the very moment that people are sitting on the tarmac on airplanes waiting for hours to take off because

martha: in some ways harry reid had a similar response. he says we do have a budget here in the senate, we are working on that. neither side is very happy with the president's budget proposal, which he says is sort after compromise, so you can see why that may be. we are waiting for the house republican side, to hear from john boehner. we'll take you there when that gets underway as well. gregg: as we wait for the president to really talk about his budget plan both sides are coming out at odd over some proposed entitlement cuts, specifically social security. we are going to break down what that could mean for you. martha: plus, new details on the american pastor who is jailed in one of iran's most notorious prisons. the medical emergency we are learning may be putting his wife in danger. we will speak to his wife who has been a frequent guest here, we'll get an update on how he is doing and his lawyer is here. gregg: newly released 911 tapes in the case of christopher dorner who went on the shooting rampage before taking his own life. we h

even harry reid says look, we don't even have 40 votes for that. >> yeah. gregg: that is just dead in the water, right? >> right. the president's going through the motions there. i think he understands that that is not going to happen. he felt like he had to make the argument in his speech but it was noteworthy in his speech he include those items of sort of a laundry list he gave when he talks about the kind of measures he favors. he didn't spend much time on them. he spent his time instead on this background check and talking about the need for background checks and good he thinks would come of it. gregg: if the president goes down on all three and gets none of what he wants, book ground checks, ammunition clips, or assault weapons. what does this say about his effectiveness as a leader, especially upon capitol hill? >> i think it wouldn't be a good thing for him obviously politically. if you look the way he approached this issue in the immediate aftermath of those tragic shootings, what he said was he wanted to reframe the debate. he wanted this to be a
